If you are anything like me, then you NEVER have enough storage... for anything!

I have discovered some thing wonderful to help with that problem though... Tupperware! I have never had 'real' tupperware before but ever since I received the Super Cereal Storer I have been in love! I was asked to review one and then I received one to giveaway { woo hoo for one lucky person!}. The wonderful rep that sent me the set is Cecile Phillps. { You can visit her online store by clicking on her name}

This is what it looks like when I first got it out of the box:

Of course I opened a box of cereal right away and poured it in

This is a whole brand new 'big' box of cereal, the whole box fit with no problem!

We are having a HUGGGGGGE problems with ants at the moment, they seem to come out of every crack and tiny hole that we have in well anything- wall, base board, plug sockets etc.. you name it, it's happening! And keeping the ants out has become kind of like a bad game here.... well with the new cereal storer from tupperware I no longer have to worry about 'extra' anything in the cereal in the morning! Ever since I put our cereal in to the storer we have not had one single ant in it!! I am loving it!

The lid opening is nice and wide so even if you have more of a 'bulky' type cereal you shouldn't have any trouble pouring it out into your bowl. Something else that I have noticed is that the cereal seemed to stay fresh longer too, but this could be because my kids were more likely to close the lid on this then trying to close the box top on the box of cereal.

Okay now that I am done raving about how much I am now in love with Tupperware I'll get on to the giveaway... thats the real reason you are here right?? { it's okay I totaly understand!}

I do not personally have a 'bucket list' I feel that there are many great things that everyone should do, or go through in life, but if some of those things don't get done before heading in to the heavens, that by no means you have had a bad life. My mother passed away at the young age of 35. If there was one thing that she enjoyed and I think everyone should have one thier 'Bucket list' is to stand through and watch a desert rain storm...

That is what we have had going on tonight here in El Paso, Texas.. an awwwwwesome thunder/rain storm. We were invited this morning over to a friend's house across the street for smoked ribs and swimming, well with the temp being 105 by 1 pm ribs and swimming seemed like the perfect thing to do today. So at about 230/3 pm we headed across the street and half way across; it started to rain, not a down pour but HUGE slow falling 'sprinkling' rain, it was still hot outside so honestly no one really took notice. We then got across the street and sat down in the back yard the kids got into the pool and started splashing , having fun, and playing. With in mins. it started to hail... YES, I said hail! Only in the desert right? Where it goes from 105/107 to hailing with in a matter of moments!{The kids BTW stayed in the pool and just kept right on swimming!} It then started to rain pretty hard, so we all just sat out there under the patio and watched the rain and the kids play. Then the lighting and thunder started.... and what an awesome storm it has turned out to be! lighting up the sky with it's jagged streaks of white fire this way and that way, than comes the huge clap of thunder... BAM, BOOM.. it was so much fun... oh and the smell... the smell... mmmmmm there is nothing in the world that smells like rain in the desert, if there was a candle that was the same smell of rain in the desert, I promise it would be that company's best seller! The storm is still going on as I sit here and type this posting out, I have all thw windows open and loving every moment of it! Have you been out in the rain lately?....

Today's posting may be a little short... like my temper..
On friday after my hubby had his first PT session for his knee, we went to Wal-mart. the need for food in the house was great! LOL We were starting to live on frozen left over even the cereal was all gone!
Well, we were in walmart for about 2.5 hours- yeah we needed that much! - and we we came back out to the truck and opened up the back to put all the food in we then discovered that someone had climbed up ON TO my truck { it's a F-350 on a 8 inch lift so it's not small by any means} opend up the back cover { we have a hard top bed cover on it, not to mention the fact that it's Heavy!} and stole all of my camping chairs, my stroller, and Morgan's T-ball bat out of the back of it! AAHHHHH it just makes me sooooooo stinking mad that some one would do something like that! I mean REALLY? Someone has some biiiig ones to climb up onto my truck and open it up to rob me blind! They are lucky I didn't walk out while it was happening, I live in the great state of Texas and there would have been a good chance I would have pulled the gun out and shot them... I mean my STROLLER!!!! I live out of that thing! I know that my son is a little old to be in a stroller, but when we go shopping he likes to ride instead of walk and about 99% of the time he ends up sleeping, which works out GREAT for me! and now... well money is tight as it is, so I'm not sure how I am going to get another stroller, but it's a MUST have at least for a little while longer...
I just want to SCREAM and then slap someone. If I see someone walking around Walmart with it in a week or two, you will know, I'll be blogging from jail... becuase I'll be beating them up in the middle of the store for my things back.....
GRRRR
Thanks for listening to me rant...
